12-2015 { The first fifteen lives of Harry August }

A title like that was impossible to ignore, right?

If you like the idea of time travel then this is your book.  A new take on it, as a matter of fact it's not exactly time travelling at all, flawless plot, good characters... I really enjoyed it.

It's a very clever story.  No deus ex machina to take characters out of tight spots... it all flows.  I give it a 9 out of 10, only because the middle part it's a bit long... 

If you fancy something different give it a go.  

It would be good for as a book club choice too.  Lots to talk about!  

Have you read it? what do you think? Would you like to be like Harry? What would you do?

Have you read Kate Atkinson's Life after life?

This one hadn't even shown up on my radar - will take a look! Not that there is much reading going on here at the moment. Don't know why, but it's a bit of a dry book spell.

sounds intriguing, although I found life after life a bit irritating....

Sounds fascinating! Glad you enjoyed it. 9 out of 10 is a very good rating I would say. xx
